Mob kills carpenter mistaken for robber in Ekiti
Angry mob on Wednesday reportedly lynched a 45-year-old carpenter at Olujoda Area of Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital.
It was learnt Olujoda area has been under consistent attack by robbers in recent time, which prompted the youths to take such rash decision. “My husband told me that he was going to Olujoda to get a contract. I was greatly surprised when I heard he was killed because of suspicion that he was wandering around.
“When we spoke on telephone, he informed me that he was going to secure a job at Olujoda area on the fateful day without knowing that it would be his end”.
